I hope you're reading this somewhere cosy and warm, and you're not driving through a giant puddle somewhere. Keep an eye on our website and Facebook page for updates about the roads in the rain.

While today might not be the perfect day for taking photos of where we live, if you're like me, your phone is full of gorgeous photos of beautiful countryside, and the people who live in it.

Now there's a chance to show off the region in a new photo competition - check out the story below.

You don't even have to wait for the rain to stop - last year's winner was all about mud.

Take care in the rain and get snapping.
